I get why this 100HappyDays challenge is so hard. Eventually the tide turns and you have a bad day and you find yourself obsessing over that moment of sorrow. The happy moment seems mundane... irrelevant even.
But that's just it. We need to focus on the happiness. Find something to smile about every day.
Earlier episodes of the Godyears #100happydays challenge featured:

Days 1- 5: included a dog with a lot of head weight, some fun trivia for 'Castle' fans and me winning the lottery ticket.

Days 6- 12: included a mug that needs an exorcism, inaugurating a pen given to me two years ago for a special reason and me being shortlisted for a very special Indian blog award.

Days 13- 19: included sweets from a millionaire, the best calender for movie lovers in 2014 and the anticipation of a long awaited holiday.

Day 20 (Jan 23) - Seeing 'Lassie Blue' all shiny and sparkly after a thorough wash. She's got a long journey ahead of her in the coming week so it's always good to start off looking brand new.

Day 21 (Jan 24) - Happiness is sending an entry at, literally, the very last minute of the contest and then finding out that it won and will be published soon.

The joy of seeing your name winning a national contest never gets old

Day 22 (Jan 25) - Not caring about calories and having juicy yummilicious sizzlers and mashed potatoes. Ah heaven!!

19 good moments in 19 consecutive days. There's only one thing to surmise from this... the regular demon in charge of giving me 'my daily dose of evil-eye' must be on vacation. If I had to take a guess, I'd say I'm pretty sure he's in Delhi playing havoc with 'certain chief ministers' there.

Without further adieu, here are Days 13-19.

Day 13 (Jan 16) - Happiness is when a patient is so pleased with the surgeon and anaesthetist that he gets his 'millionaire' kid to bring yummy pedas and amroodh ki mithai from across the state to say 'Thank You'.

Sadness is me hitting my head on the wall while eating pedas and wondering why I didn't tell him I liked Ferraris and private jets too!

Day 14 (Jan 17) - Happiness is the blind belief in the goodwill of a gift given by a friend which I carry as my 'lucky talisman'. Keeps my patients safe, brings me luck in published stories, blog nominations, lotteries and everything else.

And now... on to today's episode... (You can start reading in your normal voice again. Nice of you to obey me. You really shouldn't obey everything people ask you to do on the internet, though...)

Anyway, believe it or not, I actually had 10 straight happy days without a bolt of lightning 'unexpectedly' hitting me or a stray dog I petted getting acute rabies and biting me. Of course, before we pop the champagne on that note, I would like to point out that there are still 88 days left to go. Still, it's good to see so many people taking this up... makes for some hilarious and heartfelt moments of happiness instead of the dreary stuff we read in the news.

Without further adieu, I present to you Days 6-12 of my #100HappyDays Challenge.

Jan 9 (Day 6) - Happiness is when you are cribbing with a fellow blogger about how the two of us never win anything any more and then getting a message (ironically, from her itself) telling me I won something.

Somedays I wake up and really wish my name was Ankita Singhal. Ever have one of those days? No? Only me?

Jan 10 (Day 7) - Happiness is not having the dinner you bought till 5 hours later because you're so busy having fun laughing on the phone.

Technically, laughing is the only exercise my body gets so
I had to wait an hour after that before having food!

Like so many others, I too have taken up the 100happydays challenge. I agree with the concept behind the challenge, honestly. So many of us (myself included) don't have time to be happy and appreciate a lovely moment in today's world. According to the site, 71% of people could not complete the challenge of submitting a picture of moments of happiness for 100 consecutive days. They simply had 'no time to be happy.' I definitely intend to be among the remaining 29% when April arrives!While I am submitting my pics on Facebook with the hashtag #100happydays, I figured I would share my moments of joy here too on a regular basis. So here goes... days 1-5. Jan 4 (Day 01) - A wish-board for 2014... Because 2013's wishboard actually did work out for me.

Jan 5 (Day 02) - Amazing as it sounds, the last time I had rice and fried fish at a restaurant was in 2012 in Mangalore. You tend to miss the basic joys once life takes over. So today, went and found a place which served yummy fried fish and rice for lunch.

Jan 6 (Day 03) - From the very first photo taken of him, there was a distinct air of evil naughtiness to Snoopy. Over the last few months as he's grown up in our house, he's done nothing to dispel that impression, making everyone laugh and driving us mad simultaneously with his phenomenal head-weight yet extremely playful and lovable nature. Going through the album of his pics is such a joy even if I get to see him only once in awhile.

Drishyam is the story of a normal middle class family in Idukki district, comprising of cable operator Georgekutty (Mohanlal), his wife Rani (Meena) and their two daughters. Georgekutty is a fourth standard school dropout who dotes on his family while being a miser, much to the annoyance of his wife and amusement of his children. He spends most of his time at the cable office, watching movies of all languages. It is a peaceful family life filled with laughter, dreams and serenity.

All that changes when a friend his daughter made at a school nature trip - the son of a high ranking police officer - stops her in the middle of the road one evening. Having filmed her while she was in the bathroom, he tries to blackmail her threatening to release the video into the internet. The next day, the boy is found to be missing.

If the first half of the movie is slow and leisurely in pace, the second half is a different ballgame altogether, turning into a relentless cat-and-mouse thriller. How George kutty schemes to save his family even as the police focus their investigation solely on him right from the beginning due to a moment of bad luck is a masterpiece of story-telling. Barely literate, he needs to use his street smarts and years of watching movies as a sole guide to execute the perfect plan to save his family.
